Our Opinion
TransMedics Group, Inc. is on the Cruelty Free Investing use of animals list because they conduct pre-clinical studies of their drugs on animals to assess a product’s safety profile.
Supporting Evidence:
The company stated in the following report that they exploit animals for product testing.
“Despite our response to the MDL for our PMA supplement to our OCS Lung PMA application and our intent to
respond fully to the MDL for our OCS Heart PMA application, it is possible that the FDA may decide that the data from our clinical trials might not support PMA approval or any of the claims we wish to make, or the FDA could require us to gather significant additional clinical data, including additional long-term outcome data, or they could require us to conduct additional non-clinical testing, such as animal testing.” (Page 36) Read the full document
